Without a doubt, Bill Gates belongs in the same class as Thomas Edison, Alexand
12、er Graham Bell, and other great 21 who changed theworld. Gates success stems from his personality: an unbelievable and at times frightening blend of high-voltage brilliance, 22 and competitiveness. When the chairman and CEO walks through the corridors of Microsoft, it is like a switch beingturned on
13、; everything and everyone around him is charged with 10,000 volts of electricity. Gates sets the example and Microsoft employees follow. The schedule he keeps is one 23 as to what he expects from his employees. Its not unusual for the “dean of the Microsoft campus to put in 16-hour days. Indeed, it
14、theres one thing that distinguishes the Gates style, it is his time management skills. His hallmark 24 of time, energy, and focus. He always tries getting the maximum amount of work possible out of every minute. Always punctual and always in high gear, he typically leaves only the tiniest 25 in the
15、day for eating, talking to friends or recreation.On the subject of travel, he has become known for saving money and time as well.

16、ions or sightseeing trips are on his agenda. Its just work, work, work. Gates runs his company mainly through following methods: he meets every month or so with his top management panel of experts and advisers; and most importantly, he holds two or three small 28 meetings a day with a procession of
17、teams workingon the companys various products. He doesnt 29 anyone by name or hand out too much praise, but he does go round the table clockwise and listens carefully to everyone who has an idea. When he is unclear about something, he quizzes and challenges his staff. Educate me on that, he might sa
18、y, looking to make clear a vague statement. Every decision he makes is based on his knowledge of its merits. He doesnt need to rely on personal 30.III. Reading Comprehension (3O+24+8)Section ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fi
19、ll in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.(A)Chinas Changd has been operating flawlessly since it landed on the far side of the Moon in January 2019. Its arrival was later followed by the appearance of Beresheet, a probe built by the Israeli non-profit organization Spacell.
20、 It reached the Moon in April but crashed during its landing. Spacell has since announced that it intends to take another _31 . At the same time, the United States has promised to set up lunar laboratories in the near future, while Europe and Russia have also 32 plans to launch complex missions. Sud
21、denly, everyone is going to the Moon.After the33 excitement over Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrins historicmission in July 1969, public interest in the future of human space flight gradually 34 . So what has suddenly made Earths only permanent natural satellite so popular again?One reason for this35to
22、wards exploiting the Moon is that humankind has simply reached a stage of technological evolution that has enabled this progression, which is _36 to the other great trends of exploration throughout history.David Parker from the European Space Agency sees particular _37 with our conquest of Antarctic
23、a. The Earths southernmost continent was opened up by technological advances - motorized vehicles, air transport, radio and other developments - that are _38 in the new sciences of machine learning, sensor（传感器）technology, and robotics. These39 to transform lunar exploration in one crucially importan
24、t way: by reducing the need for the continual presence of humans in hostile environments. And the success of Chinas Change-4 provides an example of what can be achieved without human 40 .Mastering a harsh environment that is distant will require us to overcome all sorts of technological hurdles. The
25、n we will be better _41 when we start looking at Mars, which is 400 million kilometers away a million times farther from Earth than the ISS. For many space enthusiasts, the exploration and exploitation of the Moon is necessary if we are to send people to Mars. Thats the real goal for humanity, says
26、Parker.There is, however, another more poignant （辛酸的）reason for returning to the Moon. Six Apollo missions made it to the lunar surface, each crewed by two men. _42, only twelve humans have ever had first-hand knowledge of standing on another world, only four of whom are still alive. 43 their age, w
27、e could soon find ourselves in a time when there are no humans left with the first-hand memory of another world. I, like millions of other people, feel that it would be a 44 should this reality one day come to pass.When the Apollo astronauts were flying to the Moon, it seemed 1ike science fiction co

31、eager crowds were packed on wooden benches in poor buildings, which seemed to be about to 46 in the next minute. Audience were staring, with great interest, at the funny and amusing movements of silent figures on the screen. It was only through the body movements and facial expressions that the char
32、acters feelings could be 47 to the audience. However, film goers all the same turned a blind eye to the 48 cinema surroundings and seemed crazy aboutalmost all the films. Box office hits were a normal thing and stories about movie stars took full 49 of the newspapers. They were 50 on with almost all
33、 positive wordings compared with todays pitiful stars who are all the time alert to such news as divorces or affairs.Nowadays, it is quite easy to find a cinema that exceeds the hotel luxury. Cinemas are spacious, well-lit places where one can kill time in comfort. Small favors offered by modem cine
34、mas such as the well-printed booklets, which are 51 available, the mouth-watering snacks on sale and even the gifts are all sending the implied message to the audience that the film to watch will provide the equivalent 52 . Audience, on the other hand, dont always 53 the story. Before a film is rele
35、ased, the potential spectator is usually exposed to a(n) 54 of advertisements. Film trailers are seen everywhere and crew interviews are televised. And in tempting people to enter cinemas, second to none is 55 .People rely much on friends advice in choosing films.Once the audience have settled on th
36、e chair, the cinema is learning from the theatre. The projectionists are to give the audience time to prepare themselves for the film. Talk first 56 to whisper then dies away altogether. Spotlights are focused on the curtains which are drawn slowly apart, often in the 57 of music, to reveal title of
37、 the film. Every detail has been designed so thoughtfully that the spectator will never actually see the 58 screen, which will remind himall too sharply that what he is about to see is nothing but different shadows flashing on the white. However much the cinema tries to 59 theatre, it fully succeeds
38、. Nothing can 60 the awe (敬畏)and sense of expectation felt by the audience as the curtain is slowly raised46. A. disappearB. collapseC. freezeD. rise47.

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.（A）There have been many great violinists but none coul
42、d hold a candle to Kuznetsov, a miraculous young Russian. On his emergence while still in his teens, his playing was filled with timeless wisdom beyond his years; he now holds the stage with immense authority. So it comes no surprise that he is about to add a new string to his bow. When he performs
43、with the English Chamber Orchestra, it will be as both soloist（独奏者）and conductor. Its something Ive often thought about,” he says.Other musicians who have traded the bow or piano for the baton（指挥棒）have failed; the transition is not easy, of which he is aware. The most crucial thing is the human chem
44、istry between conductor and players. You must avoid at all costs being an outsider, as though saying to the orchestra, You make your music while I imagine mine.He is quite relaxed about not yet having his own hand language every conductor is different. Kuznetsov believes the connection between notes
45、 is not just physical, but also spiritual. Spirituality is, for Kuznetsov, the conductors key characteristic. And it should ideally be expressed through beauty of movement, he says. Some conductors throw themselves about, others hardly move a muscle. Where will Kuznetsov fit on that scale? ” We must
46、 wait and see, he says.Kuznetsov himself moved straight as an arrow toward his goal. His father was an oboist(双簧管演奏者)and his mother conducted a choir, but at the age of four, young Leonid settled on the violin. The violin is located at the front of the orchestra. It seemed very desirable to sit ther
47、e and show He gave his first concert at the age of five. When I went on stage, I bowed so deeply and so long that the audience laughed but I knew that this was what great artists always did. I felt it was an honour for the audience to listen to me. His programme that day included Paganini variations
48、, which were very easy for me”.What is his view now of the recordings he made at that age? I didnt have the technique I have now but across the years the intuition has not changed. I still feel every time I go on stage as though Im newborn.Kuznetsov cautiously paces his own development. He didnt giv
49、e his first performance of Beethovens Violin Concerto until he felt ready for it, and hell let Bachs works stay in his mind for some years.One of Kuznetsovs admirers wonders whether he is in danger of not hanging onto “the fearlessness of youth”. On the evidence of Kuznetsovs bravely assured new int

58、viding you with many weekends of entertainment.Its also conveniently located near great restaurants, nightclubs and shopping.

59、 Mont Ripley is perfect for you, as its famous for its challenging terrain.When the pressures of school become too much, just head out for a day of the free skiing and youll be left feeling fully refreshed2. University of Missouri in Columbia, MissouriOne of the best rec centers in the countryWhen y
60、ou think of a campus gym, you probably picture a cramped room cluttered with old weights and out-of-date machines. However, at the University of Missouri, you can enjoy one of the best campus recreational centers in the country It features an indoor beach complete with a waterfall and a lazy river,
61、as well as a full-service spa.According to the website Best College Reviews, which ranked the University of Missouri fourth on its list of The 25 Most Amazing Campus Student Recreation Centers, Missouris recreation facilities resemble a high-end gym more than a traditional campus rec center.Even if

67、entertainment only at weekends（C）Alan Greenspan, Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, has succeeded in beating back shadows of rising inflation（压制通货膨胀）over the years, squeezing the nations money supply and tugging up short-term interest rates to slow the economy. The Fed policymaker believes that
68、the pain of higher rates is worthwhile if it leads to stable prices, promotes long-term investment and cools volatility （波动）in financial markets.However, tight money could aggravate （恶化）an already troublesome trade - off （平衡）between foreign investment and the trade deficit （赤字）.The dollar rises and
69、falls on foreign - exchange markets along with short-term U. S. interest rates. Higher interest rates help attract the $ 10 billion per month of foreign investment that the nation has come to rely on to finance its borrowing. Yet, if interest rates push the dollar up too far, imports would become ch
70、eaper and U. S. exporters would find it more difficult to sell overseas, reversing the progress made in reducing Americas trade deficit.Even if the Feds inflation medicine provides a long-term cure for the economy, it will be painful in the short run. Banks have already raised their prime lending ra
71、te to 11 percent. Corporations that have taken out large loans will be squeezed. The borrowing costs the U. S. government pays will rise as well, worsening the deficit and making it even more difficult to bring the budget closer to balance.However, so far, the markets have been impressed by Greenspa
72、ns deft moves in inflation busting (打破).Long-term interest rates have hardly risen, suggesting that the markets believe that inflation will be contained over time. Recent survey found that money managers think inflation will average only 2.5 percent annually over the next 10 years. But the Fed is co
73、mmitted to ratcheting inflation even lower. Greenspan wants to squeeze inflation closer to zero over the next several years to a point where families and businesses can safely ignore it when making long-term plans. But Bill Clinton (the former President), even President Barack Obama evidently believ
74、ed that moderate inflation is a lesser evil than the political fallout from slower economic growth. Greenspans toughest tasks may be to demonstrate that sound economics and good politics are one and the same.68. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. The contradiction betw
75、een sound economics and good politics.B. The solution to budget deficit and trade deficit.C. A troublesome balance between short-term and long-term economic growth.D. Greenspan VS. inflation69. According to the passage, what would make it more difficult to close the budgetary deficit?A. The US gover
76、nment would pay more interest for the foreign investment.B. Less foreign investment could be relied on to finance the capital needs.C. The Fed is squeezing the corporations that operate on the large loans.D. The shortage of funds would slow down the economic growth.70. What does the underlined word
77、“ratchet in paragraph 4 mean?A. fuelingB. eliminating C. checking D. stabilizing71. According to the passage, what is likely to be a fair judgment of Alan Greenspans program to bust inflation?A. It is impracticable.B. There is so far no proper assessment.C. It is effectiveD. It calls for a feasibili

It can be inferred from the passage that politicians and economists .A. are the same in their strategies to adjust the economyB. sometimes do not agree with each other on the pace of economic growthC. yield to the will of the populaceD. both committed themselves to the balance of the bu

N.B.D refers to an illness that causes a person to suffer from anxiety and to have difficulty living and working as usual.D. Similarly, money, growing old, sickness, deaths, natural disasters and
81、accidents are all events which present problems to virtually all human beings.E. They know how to choose happiness over depression, because they know how to deal with the problems of their lives.F. This vision of intelligence asserts formal education and bookish excellence as the true measures of se
82、lf-fulfillment.Taking charge of yourself involves putting to rest some very prevalent myths. At the top of the list is the notion that intelligence is measured by your ability to solve complex problems, to read, write and compute at certain levels, and to resolve abstract equations quickly.73It enco
83、urages a kind of intellectual prejudice that has brought with it some discouraging results. We have come to believe that someone who has more educational merit badges, who is very good at some form of school discipline is intelligent. Yet mental hospitals are filled with patients who have all of the
84、 properly lettered certificates. A truer indicator of intelligence is an effective, happy life lived each day and each present moment of every day. 74 _Problem solving is a useful help to your happiness, but if you know that given your inability to resolve a particular concern you can still choose h
85、appiness for yourself, or at a minimum refuse to choose unhappiness, then you are intelligent. You are intelligent because you have the ultimate weapon against the big N. B. D. Nervous Break Down.“Intelligent people do not have N. B. D. because they are in charge of themselves.75 You can begin to th
86、ink of yourself as truly intelligent on the basis of how youchoose to feel in the face of trying circumstances. The life struggles are pretty much the same for each of us. Everyone who is involved with other human beings in any social context has similar difficulties. Disagreements, conflicts and co
87、mpromises are a part of what it means to be human.76 But some people are able to make it, to avoid immobilizing depression and unhappiness despite such occurrences, while others collapse or have an N, B. D. Those who recognize problems as a human condition and dont measure happiness by an absence of

91、for me, (2) I have never stopped and said to you how much I feel the need to thank you “ And briefly I recalled for each of them specific acts performed on my behalf.For instance, something uppermost about my father was how he had impressed upon me from boyhood the love of books and reading. In fact

Summarize the main idea and the
101、 main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Imagine living on the edge of a vast desert, which is moving quietly closer to your village every day and covering your fields. The desert is on the move. This is called desertification.Desertification occu
102、rs in regions close to an already existing desert. It generally arises from two related causes. The first is over-use of water in the area. There is not enough water in any case, and if it is not carefully used, disaster can follow. As time goes on, water shortages make farming more and more difficu
103、lt. In some places, locals can remember local lakes and marshes which were once the homes for all kinds of fish and birds. They have been completely buried by the sand now. Farmers leave the land, and fields are replaced by deserts.The second cause is misuse or over-use of the land. This means that
104、the wrong crops are planted and need more water than is available. Ploughing large fields and removing bushes and trees means that the wind will blow away the soil. Once the soil is lost, it is hard to replace, and if there is rain, it has nowhere to go, and brings no benefit.It is not only the farm
105、ers and villagers who suffer. Every spring, the skies over some of eastern cities, thousands of kilometers away from the deserts, can be darkened by sandstorms.
